*Hardly any electronics booths compared to years past
*SOOO many non boating vendors...

Anyway, I still went and took the family. Got to chat with Charlie from Northcoast who is a great guy, and look at some nice new boats. Also looks like I will be repowering this winter and met some great guys from conimicut marina in Jamestown. Better than sitting at home, thats for sure.
Your last sentence sums it up. Better than sitting at home.
I'm stoking 2 wood stoves today. 72 inside 9 outside.

No boat, back in the suds.
